6:34 am
nobody is like they are depressed. they are very grateful for the care they've gotten. we haven't quite seen the other side. i would imagine that people that finally realized what happened to them and what happened to the airplane might have longer term emotional things such as post traumatic stress disorder. we haven't yet seen that. >> reporter: now, about an hour ago we saw about a dozen people who appear to be either survivors or family members boarding an muni bus. appeared to be in great spirits and good physical condition. one person carrying crutches with him. this morning, the doctor tells us because of the need for these surgeries there is a blood shortage. in addition to that, many of the survivors and family members arriving don't have their baggage. don't have additional clothes. we will work on finding out how to get

6:36 am
national transportation and safety board. thanks for joining us. i know you are very busy. curious, we're now seeing video of the crash itself. how helpful will that be and is there other video of the crash itself? >> you know, video is always helpful to our investigators and i think it helped tell the story to the public of what happened. we have asked anybody who got photos, videos or witness interview to share those with us if they'd like. they can do that on our web site. but we do take that information and it helps us corroborate all of the evidence we've gathered with those additional viewpoints. >> what about cameras at the airport? >> yes, and we're looking at security and surveillance and safety cameras at the airport. they can be very helpful. we've got cameras stationary and cameras that might be on vehicles like the emergency
6:37 am
response vehicles. we'll be taking a look at all of that. >> we look at the fuselage and you see the actual crash itself. it's amazing only two people passed away in this crash. are they more safe? they must be now. >> there are so many design changes that have gone into the air cast over the last few deco owe aircraft over the last few decades. improving the seat strength and survive ability. evacuation procedures and how people get out. all contribute to the survive ability. it's not all or nothing in an airplane crash as we certainly saw here. a lot of survivors. for everybody who is watching, pay attention during that safety briefing and know where your exit paths are. >> that's certainly good advice and certainly the number of survivors, doesn't that help
6:38 am
with the investigation as well? >> certainly in every sense we want to have survivors. it does help with our investigation. they can provide us information. we want to look at the survive ability of the aircraft. we're documenting over 300 seats but understanding where people were sitting, what injuries they received. with the cabin crew and the flight crew surviving, they can provide extremely helpful information to our investigators about their experiences, what happened and how it happened. we're looking to interview the flight crew today. >> curious, there was the united flight getting ready to take off after that one was about to land. will you talk to the pilots on that plane as well? >> that is also something we can do. talk to the air traffic controllers and first responders. we have heard from pilots and others in the vicinity. they've talked to our investigators and provided us
6:39 am
with their observations. all of this information is helpful to our investigators. we're just two days in to our investigation and still have a mountain of information to go through. so that will take some time to sort through it all. >> certainly a long way to go. thank you so much for joining us this morning and giving us an update. remember that you can stay with kpix 5 and kpix.com for the latest on the crash landing. we have more video of the plane crash from viewers as well as survivor stories online. >> certainly weather will be one thing they are going to look at. winds out of the southwest 7 miles per hour. it was a beautiful day. >> i don't think it was anything weather related. usually micro bursts, nothing like that. we are seeing low clouds and fog stretching on shore again into the bay. looks like that will clear out. by the afternoon, a whole lot of this. sunshine coming our way.

horrific crash. also after historic win, andy murray will be with us. the news is back in the morning. see you all at 7:00. >> all right, anthony. we'll be watching. >> announce s he's retiring after four decades in elected office. >> just a few days ago, he opened a campaign account at the lieutenant governor's office. and here to explain is melissa griffin, attorney and columnist for the san francisco examiner. the big question is why. >> why do you open an account for an office you clearly have no intention of running for? exactly, the answer as it frequently is is money. prior to announcing his resignation at the end of this term as state treasurer, he announced he was going to run for state controller and collected about $2.2 million in campaign donations. but the state controller's office is going to
6:52 am
be elected in 2014 and he needs more time to give away that money. he opened an account to run for lieutenant governor. that gives him four more years. we have a quote from his campaign spokesman. he just wants to make sure he has the ability to support, select candidates or causes. or meet out justice as we like to say. that's what he plans to do with that $2.2 million. he can continue to collect money in that account up until 2018 or so when he could announce he's going to run in 2022. kind of can keep going forever even though he has said he's leaving politics. >> the crazy thing is it's a common place. >> it actually happens with frequency. if you look at the people who filed to run, you'll see people like state senator. congressman kevin mccarthy. they just need a place to park
6:53 am
money to meet out punishment. for example, state senator mark leno is up for a leadership position. and he'll be using that money. to sort of build up favor and maybe get that leadership position. >> and quickly, why would anyone donate? >> exactly. seems silly givening money to an office no one is running for. here's the deal, because of state campaign finance limits, if i've exhausted contribution limit, i can give to another candidate with the understanding that that candidate is going to give to candidates and causes i agree with. it's a way. very common. >> politics . it's better than sports. >> it is a sport. >> all right. thank you so much. and remember you can find more of melissa's segments on
6:54 am
kpix.com/mornings. >> coming up on kpix 5, we will give you an update on the investigation and give you more information how investigators are questioning the pilot's experience with the boeing 777. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ñáçwçñ
